Jumper cables

i need new jumper cables. i want something at least 2 gauge with parrot clamps. the only thing is im having a problem finding full copper, most of them are copper covered aluminum.... anyone have any good ones they like? thanks

I stole mine from my dad about 15 years ago.

These aren't exactly what you wanted, but they're probably the closest you'll get, and they come with that nifty case.

Or, just buy a good jump box, and carry that in the truck

I've been looking for a 2nd set to keep in the D1 and concluded that most of the off the shelf cables are pretty much junk.

If you want a good set of jumper cables, find a good set of the ends you want, then go buy some 1 or 2 gauge welding cable, cut it to length, and put the ends on yourself.

im thinking that is the way to go....

I still have the cables we found in the back of "red" when we picked it up from the puerto rican guy

It's probably going to cost more than that to buy 40' of 2G welding cable and good clamps
